Minted Iced Tea

This is super simple but I hope it inspires you when water gets boring.

My go to drink has always been water and I’ve acquired quite a taste for it over the years, but there are still times when I want something more. Something with a with flavor that still has no calories or artificial sweeteners in it.

That’s when I reach for tea!

Here’s how I like to make it for a refreshing treat…

3-4 bags of your favorites teas – Mix it up!

4 cups of boiling water

About 50 ice cubes

10-15 fresh mint leaves

I use a peach, a raspberry and a green tea bag but any combination or flavors would work. Try to keep a few in the pantry, teas come in handy!

Steep the tea bags in the boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Add the ice cubes and tea tea leaves. Stir and mash with a wooden spoon. You want to release the oils in the mint leaves and cool down the tea at the same time.
